The grand opening at 8 a.m. on Friday will be a gala affair, with the Philaelphia Orchestra performing, a parade of the history of Wawa milestones, cake, a hoagie building competition between police officers and firefighters competing for charity, and Eagles cheerleaders.

“During this significant occasion when the spotlight is on Philadelphia as the World Meeting of Families convenes and culminates with the visit of Pope Francis, we couldn’t be more excited to open our Flagship Philadelphia store,” Wawa president Chris Gheysens said in a statement.
